Although our New Brunswick House is licensed by Ronald McDonald House Charities, it is run autonomously by a local Board of Trustees, staff and volunteers.
We operate through the generous support of area businesses, organizations, civic groups, schools and individuals, as well as through fundraising and special events.
Individuals can volunteer to help staff the House during the day or evening, help at fundraising events, or complete a special project.
Call our family services coordinator at 732-249-1222 to find the volunteer opportunity that fits both our needs and your preferences.
Our goal is to provide a meal for the families every night of the week. You can help us by cooking a meal in our spacious kitchen or by ordering and delivering meals from a nearby restaurant. With guidance from our staff, volunteers plan the menu, purchase the food, cook, portion out the meal, and clean the kitchen afterwards.
To schedule a meal, please call our Family Services Coordinator at 732-249-1222
